Newcastle (Pons Aelius) Bridge, Vallum and Fort (info needed
#43
I have had a look at your line drawing Yuri and I find it totaly wrong, this is from the fact that I have just had a look at google earth. I came back here to correct my previous post by saying that both myself and Mr. Campbell have it incorrect. Hadrians'Wall has to connect with the fort of the Pons Aelius, for the line drawing put forward by Mr Campbell dictates exactly that. This is where the excavations show the Commanders house,these are to the north west corner of the keep and the projected idea of where the fort wall may be puts the fort right on the wall......P S turn your line drawing fort through 90 degrees and put it on the left side of the mile castle on the right overlapping the wall and I'd say you have it correct.
